PMG Assists MARS ONE On Red Planet Quest

Boston, MA (PressExposure) April 03, 2014 -- Ed Hennessy - CEO - Performance Marketing Group indicated that his firm has recently assisted MARS ONE in gaining access to a potential, Investor network consisting of private and public investment sources, venture capital firms and select, angel networks to seek out funds to support MARS ONE's quest to be the first non-profit entity to host a mission to inhabit the Red Planet.

MARS ONE is headed-up by Bas Lansdorp, a visionary and Industry-recognized, scientist and technologist that has captured worldwide attention and drawn-in major defense contractors, space agencies, Industry experts and other scientific partners to fuel the concept development phase and realization of his dream.

The mission is to establish an outpost on the planet Mars in 2023 using existing technology from leading Aerospace suppliers, with a select crew that will embark on a one-way, no-return journey.

To support this effort, MARS ONE conducted an Astronaut selection program, which generated over 200,000 worldwide applicants seeking to be a key element of this epic mission.

Bas Lansdorp reflects that, "This Mars mission is the most newsworthy item, since the US Astronauts - Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped on the moon in 1969."

In a recent New York Observer article, Buzz Aldrin made reference to the MARS ONE effort and other initiatives and said that "people that go to Mars will be our modern pioneers."

MARS ONE continues its feverish effort to generate funds to make the $6 billion mark, which is leveraging ever investment approach including crowd sourcing.

Hennessy comments that, "We have to admire and respect what Bas and his MARS ONE team and partners are attempting to do - this is a critical element of humankind's future state."

For most of us, this is far-fetched and has the ring of Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles.

The difference is that MARS ONE is real.
